Notes
The more seeds in your candied jalapenos the spicier the candied jalapenos will be, if you do not like spice remove some of the seeds when slicing the jalapenos.
If you cannot wait to weeks to dig into the jalapenos, that is fine just know that as they sit they become sweeter in the syrup so if you try them early they'll be a little spicier.
